Electrokinetic remediation of oil-contaminated soils.

Final In - Situ Electrokinetic Remediation of Metal Contaminated Soils

Electrokinetic Remediation of Mercury-contaminated Soils

A series of batch tests were conducted to investigate the relative desorption potential of mercury from kaolin and glacial till soils under the effect of three extractant agents, namely, KI, NaEDTA and NaCl (all of them with a concentration of 0.1 M). These tests were conducted under different pH conditions (within a pH range between 2 and 12). Also batch tests using deionized water were perfor...

PHYTOREMEDIATION OF CRUDE OIL CONTAMINATED SOIL: THE EFFECT OF GROWTH OF Glycine max ON THE PHYSICO-CHEMISTRY AND CRUDE OIL CONTENTS OF SOIL

The remediation of oil contaminated soils has been a major problem in oil producing countries and recently use of plants to clean such soils has been on investigation. In order to identify plants that can enhance the remediation of crude oil contaminated soil, the effect of the growth of G. max on the physico-chemistry and crude oil content of soil contaminated with different concentrations of ...

Electrokinetic Remediation of Uranium Contaminated Soil by Ion Exchange Membranes

Abstract—The contamination of significant quantities of soils and sediments with uranium and other actinide elements as a result of nuclear activity poses many environmental risks. The electrokinetic process is one of the most promising remediation techniques for sludge, sediment, and saturated or unsaturated soils contaminated with heavy metals and radionuclides. However, secondary waste is a ...

Reducing Agents Enhanced Electrokinetic Soil Remediation (EKSR) for Heavy Metal Contaminated Soil

Reducing agents-Enhanced electrokinetic Soil Remediation (EKSR) was performed for the removal of chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni) from contaminated soil. The reducing agents oxalic acid and ascorbic acid were investigated under constant voltage gradient (2.0 V/cm), current changes, pH, redox potential, concentration changes and removal performance of Heavy Metals (HMs). The result...
